The Irish general election of June 1927 was held on June 9, 1927. The newly elected members of the 5th Dáil assembled at Leinster House on June 23 when the new President and Executive Council of the Irish Free State were appointed.
The election saw the establishment of Fianna Fáil as a participant in the Dáil, taking most of the support and many of the members of the abstentionist Anti-Treaty Sinn Féin. The impact of this shift was to remove Cumann na nGaedhael's working majority among TDs attending, making the Dáil short-lived.
